3. He's ALWAYS been a Repuke

Why we call him a "moderate" on this board is beyond me. I remember screaming and throwing things at the television during the Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill hearings because of Arlen Specter. It's the same thing here. He's just a Republican enforcer, keeping the rhetoric down, acting superior like he gets to have the last say. This is how they get us--acting like a stern father, telling us what to do. It's the classic role of the abuser and Democrats act like victims.

4. Given the way Specter has been treated by his own party...

as in being attacked by the junior fascists at Progress for America, you'd think he wouldn't be such a loyal lapdog for Bush's nominee.

8. Moderate pro choice republicans are like porn stars....

They desparately want to get out of "the life" that they've made for themselves when it was necessary or expedient for them to do so, but fear that because of the things that they've done that nobody else will have them.

In many ways they are right.

5. His credibility is a mere spectre of its former self.... hence the name.

6. OK,

I should know better than to drink tea (or anything else) while reading here.


Paper towels appear to be a necessity here!

9. Ooooooooh...... I forgot. "spew alert".... I wrap the laptop in

duct tape and visqueen.... not only is it safe.... it's safe too.

10. Best one of the day. I love it!

7. Spector is a lap dog for the right wing junior members of the party.

He is a scumbag and sadly was not defeated last fall.

11. Just another Republican jack-ass.

12. He is flusing his women's rights record down the toilet
